Redirected from: home broadband

Definition: home broadband network


A high-speed communications system that links computer-based devices in the home to an Internet service provider (ISP). Home broadband may use a cable, DSL, satellite or fixed wireless connection.

Home broadband creates an internal network that links all devices together via wired Ethernet and wireless Wi-Fi, including printers, scanners, virtual assistants and other smart home devices. The internal local network is generally considerably faster than the speed to and from the ISP. See LAN, broadband, Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
